Chapter 2066
Chen Xuan's understanding of the twin lotus blossoms went far beyond mere imitation of their form.
As the dense lotus sword realm evolved into twin lotus flowers that slowly bloomed in the surrounding void, strands of purifying power flowed like moonlight, while strands of destructive power seemed to solidify like ink from a deep abyss. These two completely opposite forces intertwined between the petals, distinct yet symbiotic—clearly, his gains from these two hundred years of enlightenment far exceeded his expectations.
For the last thirty years, Chen Xuan immersed himself entirely in the destructive aura emanating from the Black Lotus of Annihilation.
The aura of the Great Dao swirling around that black lotus far surpassed the level of ordinary Great Dao. Even though he pondered it day and night using the method of visualization, he could only glimpse a few superficial aspects through the technique of evolution.
Although this gain cannot immediately improve one's cultivation level, it is like a deeply buried seed, representing both foundation and opportunity.
When he reaches a sufficient level in the future, with just one opportunity, this seed will sprout and grow into a towering tree that supports his path – this is the true meaning of accumulating foundation.
Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his eyes brimming with undisguised joy.
He shook his head slightly, and in the blink of an eye, a piece of animal hide crackling with purple lightning appeared in his palm.
With his right hand bent into a sword-like finger, the fingertip condensed with the aura of the Great Dao, as he lowered his eyes to examine the patterns on the animal hide while meticulously imitating the Great Dao in ink wash style.
"Young man, you're quite clever, knowing to use your own insights to imitate." The little tower's voice carried a hint of approval. "If you were to directly use the Great Dao of Ink and Wash to force your way through, even if you comprehended the Twin Lotus Dao for two hundred years, you would only be able to imprint a shallow trace of the Dao."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan raised his eyes and smiled, his fingertips still sliding on the animal skin: "The Great Dao of this world is unique in heaven and earth and cannot be replicated. I knew in the depths of my heart that only with my understanding of it could I truly imitate it."
In less than half an incense stick's time, a painting of twin lotus blossoms on the cliffs of Black Mountain took shape on the animal hide. The instant the ink touched the paper, the two lotus flowers amidst the cliffs suddenly came to life—
The white lotus heart contains a pure white Dao seed, and the black lotus heart contains an inky black Dao seed. They slowly rotate in the painting, as if they had forcibly "plucked" a wisp of the soul from the twin lotuses on the cliff and put it into the painting.
Since its creation, this visualization diagram has been a treasure for cultivators seeking enlightenment.
An ordinary celestial king would probably be tempted by it, but if a true immortal were to stumble upon it, they would surely fight to the death for it.
Chen Xuan carefully put away the visualization diagram, stood up and looked towards the top of the cliff, his voice carrying a hint of determination: "Little Tower, I have a bold idea. If I get into danger later, you'll have to cover for me."
Xiaota nodded solemnly: "Go. Since you have brought the Pure World White Lotus Dao Seed, the World-Destroying Black Lotus will not annihilate you on the spot."
As Chen Xuan flew straight toward the Black Lotus of Annihilation, the little tower, the Enlightenment Tree, and Bai Li all felt their hearts sink.
With the help of Chen Xuan's multiple methods, Bai Li has made significant breakthroughs over the past two hundred years. Knowing the terror of this chaotic divine object, she couldn't help but shout a warning: "Master, be careful!"
As Chen Xuan drew closer, the destructive intent became increasingly clear, even penetrating his protective aura and landing directly on his physical body.
His divine and demonic body was already close to perfection, and now he has unleashed the Nine Revolutions Battle Glazed Body, making his physical defense comparable to a pure yang magic weapon.
Even so, the moment he stepped into the Twin Lotus Realm, the glazed light around him was purified as if ice and snow were melting, and his mortal body was completely exposed.
In just over a hundred meters, Chen Xuan transformed from a vibrant young man with flowing white hair into a withered old man with white hair and beard and skin wrinkled like old tree bark.
His straight back hunched over at a visible speed, and with each breath, it felt as if he was losing a bit of his life force—this was the most terrifying thing for a cultivator, yet it did not stop Chen Xuan.
He was still approaching the twin lotus blossoms on the cliff, but his flight speed had slowed considerably, as if each step forward required him to exhaust all his strength.
